This is just a little something I came up with while practicing. At the click of a button this widget will display a list of the active topics since your last visit. You can also toggle its display as well, by clicking the button again to hide the list of topics.

There is a limit to the amount of topics that can be displayed at once, so don't worry. To deal with a large amount of topics a scroll bar will be added after the widget exceeds 120px. If you're interested in this widget, read on to find out how to install it.

To save you time the script, css, and widget are all in one code so you can edit the entire widget in one area.

When you're done save the widget, drag and drop 'Topics since last visit' onto your forum, and save the structure. When new topics are active on your forum they will be displayed when you click the button. I'll also note this has only been tested on phpbb2 and phpbb3.

If you have any questions or bugs to report please let me know. Enjoy!

hi i like to say thanks 1st2ndi think im lost here a littlei put that code in widget but looks i miss something herewhy ? its only show me a button and when press show me the line topics since last visit nothing more

If there are no topics displayed, then there were no new topics since your last visit. Once you log out, the topics from that session are cleared. I think I should include a message which notifies that.

1st thanks i miss that there was no new topics at that timeworked 100%i just wonder now about make it right to left not left to right if you dont mind you know right to left for Arabic forumthanks again the Script is cool

I found this great widget only now and it works great! BUT when i click on a new topic it directed me everytime to the first post of a topic...It is possible that it shows me the newest post of a topic?
